Yes. You can have as many SEP IRAs as you wish. But the total contribution you make to the SEP IRAs cannot exceed your annual limit. If your retirement account is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s. All of the major financial institution and self-directed trust companies offer them. They work like a corporate 401(k) but you have complete control. They may be better than a SEP since: 1. The contribution limits are higher 2. You can borrow against the 401(k) but not a SEP 3. You can have a Roth 401(k) but you cannot make Roth contributions to a SEP 4. You can buy life insurance or invest in a S corporation in a 401(k)

What is the main difference between a sep ira and a Roth IRA?
A Sep IRA stands for Simplified Employee Pension IRA. Withdrawals from Sep IRA funds are taxed as if it was ordinary income. Taxes are paid at the beginning when a Roth IRA is opened. Withdrawals are not taxed so in the end a Roth IRA costs less than a Sep IRA. Both types of IRAs are great forms of investment.
Can a sep IRA be converted to a traditional IRA?
Technically, the SEP IRA and the Traditional IRA are the same type of account. The only difference is that the SEP IRA is allowed to receive employer contributions. Therefore, you can combine the SEP IRA into the Traditional IRA without any ramifications. When doing so, move the assets as a (nonreportable) trustee-to-trustee transfer.
